BlockBeats message, April 2, “BTC OG inside info mega whale” agent Garrett Jin posted, saying, “Trump’s nationwide address is tantamount to a pledge of a hot war; the escalation of the conflict is irreversible. Since the outbreak of war, every major judgment we’ve made has come true—no war exit plan, no solution for the Strait of Hormuz, the oil supply shortfall has been exposed, and the risk for importing countries has become more pronounced. This week’s brief optimistic rebound fully matches expectations: it’s a position-based short-term squeeze, not a change in fundamentals. After that, Trump delivered a nationwide address.
This address sends a dual signal. On one hand, Trump claims military action is ‘nearing completion’ and provides a 2–3 week timeline; on the other hand, he threatens that if no agreement is reached, he will strike Iran’s power infrastructure, ‘a devastating blow.’ The market reaction reflects these two sides: oil prices surged more than 6% (reflecting escalation), while the U.S. dollar weakened (reflecting expectations of a possible exit).
Our interpretation is: the ‘nearing completion’ wording is mainly a domestic political posture, while the escalation threats are the actual action signal. When dispatching a third carrier strike group and threatening to destroy a country’s power grid, the direction is already clear. Last week, we said that Easter might mark the point of no return for hot-war escalation. After this speech, we’re closer to that threshold than most people realize. The market has not yet priced in this irreversibility. To be blunt: once a hot war is chosen, it can’t be reversed. The world is undergoing a structural shift, and most market participants have not yet started pricing it in.”
